Trick or Treating

Since we've already gone to 2, yep 2 Halloween events already, and since it was a really cold night out there tonight, we weren't real sure that we were going to do much to celebrate this, the actual night of Halloween. But, somewhere along the way (I blame our neighbor girl Savannah) Brianna figured out the whole concept of trick-or-treating. So, the past 2 days or so she's been saying, "I wanna trick-or-treat!" Well, we felt like we would be scrooges not to let her have her fun on Halloween night. We tossed around a few ideas but ultimately decided just to cruise the halls of our own apartment complex. Actually this building is pretty duddy when it comes to Halloween...not very many doors with signs to welcome the candy crusaders. But, we figured, oh well, we don't want her to have tons of candy anways and we really don't want to deal with a tiny, cold, sick kiddo. So we started off pacing the hallways. (I don't think I've ever walked around this whole place...it's huge! I was even getting tired by the end of our walk.) I think there were only about 10 doors we ended up getting to knock on in the whole place. Bree still made a pretty good haul though since every place we went to was really glad to get rid of all their candy and would give huge handfuls of their stash. All in all it turned out pretty perfectly...we stayed warm, Bree got a decent amount of candy but not too much, it wasn't overtiring for her (Daddy carried her most the time) and, most importantly, she had a lot of fun (and looked adorable doing it!).
